Well, my signature had the direct link to the WIKI in big bold letters.
If you run more than one project, there is a debt sysem for resources. So if you are doing 20% Einstein and 80% something else, it tallies the time it took to do certain work. Say Einstein ran for 4 hours, and now the other project needs to run 16 hours to catch up. This will set a disallow new work for a while.
Even worse, if you stop a project for a while, that debt will climb until you restart it, and then all that time will have to be paid back.
So in essence, Einstein thinks it has done too much for now, and is waiting until enough time on the other project(s) catch up.
If your machine is in Earliest Deadline First (EDF) mode, it also will not allow other projects to download. If you keep a large cache of results to crunch, and BOINC thinks it can not finish them before the deadline, it stops all new work from projects.
Just simple weights and measures (well not that simple)...
Thanks - that is helpful - but the link that just goes to a main wiki page isn't - I need something that linksdirectly to a page that has a title like "How to get new work".... I'm only doing this because einstein sent out an email requesting I start it up again ......
PS actually i just paused Climate prediction and then updated einstein again and now it'sfetching something slooooowly, thanks again
You should not run any optimized BOINC core client if you run other projects. In contrary, if you run some optimized applications (currently afaik only S@H has optimized app), or if you use modern CPU whose real-life processing of the project application does not correspond to the benchmarks (as it is the case with most of current computers), then in contrary, you definitevely should run the calibrating core client, becaus unlike optimized core clients and even unlike the official core client, it attempts to adjust the claimed credit for every WU so that it's value is completely independend on the harware - that was the orginal purpose of the benchmarks, but unfortunately without the calibration it never really worked.
Besides it, at the calibrating client, you have the option, turning the calibrating on/off at every project separately, so if you think it does not claim credit correctly at certain project, you can let it in the standard mode that is in its functionality dentical to the official client. And since there is only one version compiled for all CPU's, with no CPU-specific compiler optimization, the standard benchmarks are not artificailly bloated as at some other clients.
My guess is that Einstein does not support the optimized BOINC application.
You are right. I have it on another PC that is also optimized and it works fine on that PC.
Don't you mean he's wrong then? ;)
Just suspend Seti@Home from the Projects tab. EAH will then download new work.
Afterwards, Resume Seti if you want to.
No, He is right that E@H does NOT support the optimized BOINC. However, on the PC (Desktop) that I run both E@H and S@H the S@H and BOINC are OPT and the E@H runs and downloads and uploads just fine.
However, on my Dell (Laptop) it is not getting any work. I am runing both S@H and E@H on it too.

@Ageless-The button at this time is showing "No New Work"

Ricky, here's a post from trux on the Seti forums.
